This is a good article from the excellent Cycletips blog about how to deal regain your KOM when you get that dreaded email saying  'You just lost your KOM . .' and also how to bag a few more too!

That looks like a good route, goes past the hill near me at the turning into Cholsey. I may have to try this route starting at a different point.

Thanks for sharing and if you see a guy on a red/white/blue bike, wave and say hello as you pass me!

Cheers Dave, it's a lovely ride that I usually do in reverse where I usually post a time around 10 minutes faster. I had 15.4mph at the halfway point and 16.9 at the finish-just to point out the effect the strong headwind on Sunday had!
Incidentally, I decided to set my own Strava segment for this ride, thinking I would for a short time have a KOM....when it came through I was only second fastest, despite that segment not existing!  How the hell does that work?    :~(

I guess someone else must have thought it's a good route to ride too!
